We are delighted to announce the following upcoming launches:
Coming Soon
Two hapless chancers, a greyhound and one night in Madrid.
One night in Madrid. The one the tourists, and plenty of Madrileños never see. The Madrid of poker games, scams and dodgy deals. Of flyovers, bus stations and industrial estates. Of gamblers, gangsters, and the odd saint, who might just perform a miracle. The Madrid of Sánchez and Nikki.
In her latest book, Esther García Llovet follows this not quite Bonnie & Clyde pair of chancers on the brink as they desperately hunt down a greyhound called Cromwell, who might just be the answer to all their problems. With her razor-sharp language, her inimitable eye for the absurd, and her surreal style, that feels like David Lynch after too much vermut, García Llovet reveals herself as a cinematic storyteller par excellence and an unrivalled, passionate portraitist of the Spanish capital and the characters who live in its shadows.
Coming January 2026
A powerful examination of grief, family lies and the postcolonial condition in one woman’s attempt to repatriate her father’s body to France.
Annabella Morelli is twenty-three years old, dreams of becoming a poet and lives in Lyon, far from Congo-Brazzaville where she was born. The daughter of a Franco-Italian worker, and a Congolese girl who became a mother too young, Annabella remembers a happy childhood until one Christmas, at the age of seven, her father's anger exploded, and her mother left the family home.
When she learns of his death in Cameroon, her world collapses for the second time and in her desperate attempt to repatriate her father’s body to France, Annabella is forced to confront the family secrets, lies and deep trauma at the heart of her existence. This stunning debut explores grief, family relationships, personal truths and the post-colonial condition with beautiful, urgent writing. It was the winner of the 2024 Prix Goncourt du Premier Roman and the 2024 Prix Transfuge du Meilleur Premier Roman.
